A video game about American politics
Political Arena is a one-of-a-kind strategy/sim about American politics where no two playthroughs are the same. Create your own politician and seek fame or infamy in a fully simulated political world, complete with high stakes campaign strategizing, backroom deals, scandals, special interests, and the press. Be the politician of your dreams (or nightmares).
